Abstract

This study aims to determine the relationship between quadriceps angle, anthropometric measurements and quadriceps muscle strength. The quadriceps angle (Q angle) consider clinically as a very important parameter which displays the biomechanical effect of the quadriceps muscle on the knee and it is also a crucial factor for the proper posture and movement of the knee. Quadriceps angle is routinely and regularly used as an assessment parameter during the diagnosis of many knee-related problems. This study shows the inverse relation between quadriceps angle and height and quadriceps muscle strength. Also it provides information of the proportional relation between quadriceps angle and weight.
